rsync - Nov 2007 - Consistent crashes when syncing large file, possible bug?

All,

I'm experiencing a problem where rsync crashes consistently when syncing a
large file (~760MB).  I am rsyncing from my windows box to my linux server.
Both ends are running the latest stable version 2.6.9 protocol version 29.
The Linux server is a 64-bit version and the windows client supports
64-bit.  I've ruled out network by using different switches and also
verifying that I'm not seeing any error packets on the interfaces.
Connection is Gigabit.  I've tried both with jumbo frames turned on and off
and both causes the same error.

The sync process goes fine until it tries to transfer a large file.  Below
is the error:

rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 1 bytes [sender]: Connection reset
by peer (104)
rsync: read error: Connection reset by peer (104)
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(604)
[sender=2.6.9]

Any idea why it's doing this?  Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,
David

Hi, anyone have an idea why it's doing this?  Has anyone else experienced
similar problems syncing from windows to Linux?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks
